  • Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don’t know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).

    To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there’s definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron’s mouth noises in the middle, but I don’t see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn’t own “co-ed” I don’t know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand





  • I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

    That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

    You’re both half right.

    You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

    So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

    It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

    You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

    • You started with 1.0
    • You ended with 1.2
    • You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

    Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!
